sANITARY LEGISLATION.
What the State Beard Of Health Reports
to the Legtslatare.

Advance sheets of portion of the report
OF the Secretary of the State Board Of Health
have been published under the
title Of "Saniiary Legislation" and will

opening the defective condition of our exist
ing health laws is noted and the necessity of
improving them. The bill for the considera-
ton Of the legislature which the Board have
drafted emoodies their views as to what is
needed. The restriction of the choosing of the
Health Committee to the annual meeting as
at present. they do not regard as prudent.
1t IS optional with the towns to choose either
health committee or a health officer, and
heir specified duties are very lin
tied, being confined to the removal
of filth.
BY the Law a multiplicity of choices is
open to the towns-a health committee, a
health officer, the municipal officers as An ez

strict prohibition of public funerals of those
who have died of certain dangerous contagi-
